He was flanked by Jimmy Uso.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VN9iI8\">But not Jey.<\/p>\n<p id=\"upYODA\">Nor Sami Zayn.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ow5fx3\">Instead, before Reigns could speak, Jey\u2019s music hit and he made his own entrance. Hey, he always said he would only do this again if they were equals. At least so far, that\u2019s been the case, even if Roman hasn\u2019t exactly shown great pleasure in it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9RNGTU\">Jey even opened the conversation, asking for Roman and Jimmy to \u201cjust hear him out. Just hear what he has to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"YGVzjT\">Enter Zayn, who had to take a minute before speaking because the live audience was chanting \u201cSami Uso\u201d for him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ti3iXI\">He said the kick to Reigns at <em>Crown Jewel<\/em> was not on purpose but he also wanted to make clear he was only there for Jey and he\u2019d like to say the same is true for showing up on this show but it\u2019s just not the case. The truth?<\/p>\n<p id=\"H6q6oX\">When it was the four of them, even for just a minute at Crown Jewel, it was special. It took him back to a special time in his life.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OMmnk3\">With family.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OPkeoc\">Word to Dom Toretto.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EbfvxW\">Sami said he felt it, and Jey did too, and Jimmy did too, and if he was honest with himself and everyone else, Roman felt it too. On some level, he surely wants all of this back. He thinks, deep down, that Reigns loves him. It\u2019s still there. He remembers the old days, just like everyone else.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5YQN5a\">It could be like that again.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WoX4YY\">He\u2019ll put the ball in Reigns\u2019 court right now. If he wants him to turn around and walk away, never to be in Bloodline business again, he\u2019ll do it. But he doesn\u2019t think that\u2019s what he wants. He thinks he wants the four of them fighting together, side-by-side. And if that\u2019s what he wants, he\u2019ll do that too.<\/p>\n<p id=\"55lDDJ\">He just needs one thing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SEA3Km\">An apology.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MKcpuX\">That, of course, is the toughest of pills to swallow for one Roman Reigns.<\/p>\n<p id=\"LEmCOz\">\u201cLet me just get this straight \u2014 you want me to apologize to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"M9X7eb\">Sami said no, it\u2019s not for him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Lw5HwV\">\u201cI want you to apologize to Jey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"eBfdjT\">Reigns slowly made his way to Jey and apologized, but only for allowing them to waste his time like this. Zayn is not family, and this is not about him, it\u2019s about Solo Sikoa, who he demanded come to the ring right now so they could handle business. Zayn walked away.<\/p>\n<p id=\"dUetvl\">Jacob Fatu suddenly hit the screen to deny Roman\u2019s request and end the segment with Sami still heading for the back and everyone disgusted with where they were.<\/p>\n<p id=\"zptCig\">It seems obvious where this story is headed, with Survivor Series only a few more weeks away, but they\u2019ve never rushed too quickly into making any move in this story and they aren\u2019t doing it here either. How would the ceremony later on play into all this?<\/p>\n<p id=\"HS0x4l\">Shortly after the segment, Jey confronted Roman backstage to ask about Roman not hearing Sami out. Reigns wondered why he cares about Sami so much? If he cares so much, go find his ass. Jey gave him a pass for talking to him like that, but that was his one warning. When Jimmy questioned why Reigns was treating Jey that way he, too, was shouted down.<\/p>\n<p id=\"IusrZB\">The character arc is nowhere near complete. The ego is still too large.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yBgmg1\">He was shown backstage contemplating his situation throughout the remainder of the show, the messaging clear. Yet again, his ego had left him all alone. Would his contemplation bring him to the right conclusion?<\/p>\n<p id=\"wHBMq3\">Finally, it was time for the main event segment, and Solo and his goons hit the ring for it. He could hardly get through asking for acknowledgement before Reigns showed up, all by himself. When Sikoa asked for Roman to acknowledge him, Buffalo quite literally broke out in a \u201cfuck you Solo\u201d chant.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VUSzar\">Reigns challenged Sikoa to a match, 1v1, winner is the one true undisputed Tribal Chief. Sikoa\u2019s response? Find four people to team up with him and they can go to war.<\/p>\n<p id=\"JveMPd\">Reigns did the quick math and who the hell would be the fifth? Solo claimed it was none other than Sami Zayn, who started slowly walking out when they attacked Reigns. Jimmy and Jey ran in and chaos broke out. The ring cleared out, and it was just Solo setting Reigns up to call Sami in, demanding he kick Roman in the face.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Rk2qEI\">\u201cRemember what he did to you?!?\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"Op89N0\">Zayn rushed forward &#8230; and laid Solo out. Jacob Fatu ran in but Sami ducked, perfectly setting him up for a Superman Punch. He followed up with a monster Spear on Solo.<\/p>\n<p id=\"X3Bkzr\">The new Bloodline cleared out.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YyRsUz\">The original remained in the ring.<\/p>\n<p id=\"EuPaBv\">Jey threw up the one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"hOkhmM\">Jimmy did the same.<\/p>\n<p id=\"TLxBIV\">Sami soon followed, staring right at Reigns as he did it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"E1twWG\">And then Reigns did it too.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WBiZh3\">Run it back, boys.<\/p>\n<p id=\"xlXdI1\">This time it\u2019s WAR (GAMES)!<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ehkj2d\">There were some issues with this \u2014 why would Solo fall for Sami\u2019s fake loyalty another week?!?, why are Sami and Jey going along with Roman like this when they still aren\u2019t getting what they want\/need out of it \u2014 but I don\u2019t even care, this is why I still love pro wrestling all these years later. Plus, they have given us reason to have faith we\u2019ll finally get resolution proper and these moments will hit that much harder because of it.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"p-entry-hr\" id=\"dJblSn\"\/>\n<div id=\"tm9mpI\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kevin Owens piledrives Randy Orton: SmackDown highlights, Nov. 8, 2024\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fYhhKSUI8b8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"PSDXj8\">They continue doing a fantastic job of making Kevin Owens look so much more dangerous than he ever has. They\u2019re also making Randy Orton look unhinged in a good way, what with his showing up with no voice to shout a curse word \u2014 you know it\u2019s serious when they start cussing! \u2014 to demand Owens show up to settle this once and for all.<\/p>\n<p id=\"I4tG65\">The ensuing brawl wasn\u2019t much but it had a big payoff \u2014 Owens hit Orton with a piledriver, a move they were quick to point out was banned many years ago because of how dangerous it is. They really drove that point home too, with Orton selling like his neck was broken, and doing a full blown stretcher job with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis coming out to help assist him to the back.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ngzzkB\">Orton could be heard saying \u201cI can\u2019t feel\u2026\u201d as they were wheeling him to the back.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VTKpwm\">This was one hell of an angle.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bAWqVC\">I also appreciate the fact that they\u2019re trying to get the piledriver over in such a way. There are arguments to be made you can\u2019t put the genie back in the bottle, so to speak, but you never know if you don\u2019t try and this certainly felt like it got over in the arena.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"p-entry-hr\" id=\"rB6KNX\"\/>\n<div id=\"X7neE4\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Naomi helps Bianca Belair &amp; Jade Cargill in tag team match: SmackDown highlights, Nov. 8, 2024\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H4Ik-JclL7g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5 id=\"idr3KB\">All the rest<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"y2hTTp\">Candice LeRae tried to fake a leg injury to get the upper hand on Bayley when having a match outright wasn\u2019t working out so well for her. Instead, Bayley, who could be heard shouting \u201cI know you\u201d after the fact, baited her into trying for a roll up and then hooked her legs for the three count to score the pinfall. <\/li>\n<li id=\"eWYW3h\">Tommaso Ciampa was good and pissed off at Johnny Gargano for playing too nice with the Motor City Machine Guns, yelling at his tag team partner that they were going to make an example of Pretty Deadly on this show before making clear their intentions to take the titles back for themselves. Gargano said he\u2019s longtime friends with them, of course he would be good to them. When the match came, Ciampa singlehandedly destroyed Prince &amp; Wilson, never even bothering to tag Gargano in and barking at him on the way back out. The Blackheart might be back, folks.<\/li>\n<li id=\"o8Hx75\">Nia Jax was upset at Tiffany Stratton for getting a match made between them and the women\u2019s tag team champions, Bianca Belair &amp; Jade Cargill. They argued about this in front of Candice LeRae, who made an appeal to Jax that if she was there Nia would have won. Something there, perhaps? We\u2019ll have to stay tuned on that. Meanwhile, they booked the tag match to feature a big showdown between Jade and Nia, something they\u2019ve made a habit of for the former while she\u2019s been doing the tag team thing. LeRae showed up late in the match to try to give the heels the win but Stratton was pissed she showed up and didn\u2019t take advantage. Naomi arrived to take LeRae out and by the time it was all over, Belair had hit Stratton with the Kiss of Death to get the three count. They\u2019re certainly doing what they can to keep things intriguing throughout all of the women\u2019s division here.<\/li>\n<li id=\"vi3a3y\">Instead of having the Motor City Machine Guns appear on \u201cThe Grayson Waller Effect\u201d like they promoted last week, they had the two have a match, one the tag team champions emerged victorious in. This was fairly straightforward, simply a way to further establish the new team both in WWE and as champions. Nothing to complain about there. When they got backstage, DIY tried to confront them but The Street Profits showed up to say they already talked to Aldis and they\u2019ll get the next tag team title shot next week. <\/li>\n<li id=\"D11Zd5\">Nick Aldis introduced a women\u2019s United States championship. It\u2019s long overdue, and the title is instantly the best looking belt in the company for the white leather strap and the design itself.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"Kge8hv\">The blue brand doesn\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n<p id=\"A3CqgQ\"><strong>Grade: A-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"cLbc4y\">Your turn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/2024\/11\/9\/24291848\/smackdown-recap-reactions-nov-8-2024-bloodline-war-games\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They promised an \u201cUndisputed Tribal Chief Acknowledgement Ceremony\u201d on this week\u2019s episode of Friday Night SmackDown right at the start, and then the first to make an entrance on the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=123906\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=123906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123906\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=123906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=123906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=123906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
